As this forum has proven there really is no excitement in California or Arizona.
Why should there be?
I already know the deal. 🤠🏈🤠

Key reasons for state-level top 25 rankings include:
Visibility for Recruits: Ranking high schools, such as those featured on MaxPreps, boosts exposure for high-performing players, helping them attract attention from college scouts and recruiters.
Performance Validation: They offer a structured look at team performance by considering strength of schedule and quality wins, rather than just win-loss records.
Playoff & Selection Context: Rankings help frame, discussions around playoff seeds and determine which teams deserve to advance, sometimes influencing selection committees.
Fan Engagement: Rankings create, stories, foster school pride, and generate excitement, with media outlets, like High School Football America, focusing on which, schools, are dominating, in their, state, and across the nation.
Competitive Motivation: Knowing, they are being ranked provides, motivation, for, teams, to perform better, often prompting, better cohesion among players, and giving, them, a, reason to strive for, victory, or a, better, standing, in, the, state's, top-25 list.

...none of which are particularly relevant to a national football conversation.

You seem almost proud California can't put together a solid Preseason Top 25.......

Is what it is, I suppose.

Why do the other teams even play football in California? That's my question.
Maybe they should all drop the sport!

What do you care how another state feels about high school football ? If you want to care about irrelevant schools go ahead.

You have a seriously warped view of National.

Cathedral Catholic, CA 24 #4 Chandler, AZ 23
Point Loma CA 14 Cathedral Catholic, CA 7

Chandler is National.......cough, cough!
Point Loma is a shit CA team

Go ahead and make all your excuses and throw your 4 paragraphs of straight up baloney out there to amuse us..

You don't have a clue what's National?

I just find it highly humorous that every CA team that plays an OOS game is garbage unless they are in the CA Top 10.

That is some wild and crazy shit right there.

Point Loma would have been top 5 in Louisiana last year based on the rankings. They would be a major player in Louisiana competing for state titles year in and year out.

In California, they are just another guy. Still national top 150. But not even top 30 in state.

Teams like Point Loma and Pacifica would be state title winning powers in other states, but nothing of note in Cali.

That actually makes the argument for strength in Cali. That there are so many highly ranked teams every year, that these teams don't even get mentioned because they are so down the pecking order.

In Louisiana they are a state powerhouse. In California, the people in California don't know or care much about them. Lol.

Red Flag can keep bringing up random teams from California, and it still won't remove the stain of the number 4 team from Louisiana spending thousands to play the 107th team in CA.

All time embarrassment.

Then Point Loma loses to a (7-5) team in the playoffs.

You just can't make this kind of garbage up. 🤠🏈🤠

Just pull the plug on all this bullshit!

Garbage in context to who they are playing OOS
For example when San Juan Hills played Rockwall-Heath most thought this would be a competitive game,which it was.I understand you think what you're watching every week in Louisiana is good football so you can't really tell the difference .

You have a seriously warped view of National.

How many passing yards did Brady Palmer have against Point Loma? How many rushing yards did Honor Faalave have?

The ironic thing about Red Flag slinging shit at the wall is that every team he mentioned would all be top 10 in Louisiana. And he would be pimping them out every year. He's a predictable robot who only has one mission and that's to be a cancer to everyone else. Doesn't know shit about football. Beats his chest about beating teams like Cathedral and Legacy, but will call out national top 100 powers. Way out of his depth. Just a troll. Have you ever seen someone like his posts or comment in a positive light to anything he types? Just a punk who leaves shit whenever he moves

He's the adult version of a kid throwing a tantrum because he doesn't want to move on from teeball to coach pitch.

"It's time for Louisiana to play a real national power."

"BUT I WANNA KEEP PLAYING SANTALUCES!!!"

It's made all the more remarkable by the fact that Curtis is actually going to play a legit team but wants to distract from that inevitable ass-beating to create some narrative that beating Louisville and Cathedral is what REALLY matters.

North Shore isn't a National Power!, neither is John Curtis.
Crap game!

The real power is out there in Arizona and 6 CA teams.
Money!

Exactly. And he hypes up teams like Cathedral, Legacy, Santaluces, and Louisville because those are the only teams Louisiana can win against. Multiple posters have asked him to post a list of the best OOS wins for Louisiana in the last 10 years and his first response was a 3 loss Mississippi team from 11 years ago. Lol. That's Lousiana football in a nutshell

For the record, Woody.

John Curtis played a much better Santaluces squad than National Power Baylor, TN did this past year.
Why don't you work Baylor's ass too!

You really do need to lay off the cactus juice when posting in public.
